Poetics of the Festival
The festival wants to bring to the theatre even those who have not yet found the right show for them, focusing on what it’s not frequently proposed during the usual theatre seasons for young audience in Brescia. It’s divided into three sections:

• FIRST LOOKS (0-6 years)
• NEW FIGURES to propose innovative theatre languages and original aesthetics
• YOUNG ADULT (13-22 years)

The festival is mostly programmed in a specific area of the city, Via Milano, a peripherical area which we would like to transform in the seat of the “cultural move” for children, young people and families. The periphery is at the same time put in dialogue with the center, with initiatives that are proposed in tandem among via Milano and the historical city center.

The strategies we are trying to pursue:
Cooperating with people and communities of the city that take care of new generations.
Participating in networks with Festivals, theatre companies, cultural realties, from Italy and abroad, to share processes, ideas, experiences and resources.
